This Is Why Blue Bloods Got Rid Of Amy Carlson (Linda Reagan)

Amy Carlson’s departure from “Blue Bloods” shocked fans when her character, Linda Reagan, was killed off in a helicopter accident between Seasons 7 and 8. The decision to have Linda’s death happen off-screen was controversial, leaving viewers disappointed and Carlson expressing surprise at the choice. Her contract expired after Season 7, and she chose not to renew it, explaining that she wasn’t invited back to wrap up Linda’s storyline in Season 8. Despite her disappointment, Carlson mentioned she’d be open to returning in a flashback, though that hasn’t materialized. Since leaving “Blue Bloods,” Carlson has appeared in various TV series and films, but her latest credit is from 2021. Fans remain hopeful for her return to the show before its finale, as unexpected comebacks have occurred in other CBS series.
